The Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool is designed to be run on your home network behind a home internet router (NAT). It runs a series of tests that will let you know if certain advanced features in Windows Vista will be supported behind your current router. If the tests show your router does not support the advanced networking features in Windows Vista, they'll further help you by giving you a better understanding of what features to look for when purchasing a new router that will take full advantage of Windows Vista.
The Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool runs the following set of tests on your router:
- Basic Internet Connectivity Test
- Network Address Translator Type
- Traffic Congestion Test
- TCP High Performance Test
- UPnP Support Test
- Multiple Simultaneous Connection States Test
